If You Can Flip A Switch, You Can “Wow” An Audience

Turn the house lights off and hear the oohs and aahs from the audience as glowing balloons twirl about the room.

Blacklight works in most environments. It only requires the lowering of lights, but the darker you can make it, the more dramatic the effect on the audience.
